Herboretum

Scientists regularly come to The Herboretum to make an inventory and count the plant and animal species present on the estate, as true indicators of biodiversity.
These inventories are very precious to evaluate the evolution of biodiversity.

The Mint Meadow

This cool and sunny habitat shelters its cortege of plants adapted to this environment (fragranced mint, great nettle, burdock, etc.).

Some plants have even developed strategies to survive in very humid habitats such as the bald cypress which produces excrescences at the earth level, called cypress knees or pneumatophores, to tap the air which misses to its roots.
